OPENING JANUARY 7
2021 ANNUAL MONOTYPE SHOW | January 7 - 27, 2021
Monotype, in printmaking, is a technique that generally yields only one good impression from each prepared plate. Monotypes are prized because of their unique textural qualities. They are made by drawing on glass or a plate of smooth metal or stone with a greasy substance such as printer's ink or oil paint.
This exhibit is a showcase of monotypes, most made in the Scott Gellatly and Aimee Erickson’s Monotype Lab held the first weekend in January.

Juried by Beth Verheyden
Original art, created by a local artist, is perfect for filling in blank space on either your wall or that of a friend. It’s the perfect gift! We are celebrating the season with over 200 pieces of fine art for at or below $200. Each piece is 12” x 12”.
The “cradles” (frames) used in this year’s show are sponsored by American Easel.
